    Yes! He's a great player and he'd score an early goal easy, which would boost the team's morale.

    I voted no because I dont think he can. If this guy had ninety minutes in him on a regular basis then he would start more often.

    A simple no from me, said it all before, earn it in a celtic top, and it's an aye from me. If Paddy had any consistency, he would be playing for Barca, problem is, he hasn't got consistency.

    aye, but he really needs to learn when to try and take on the full team and when to pass.

    short corner, there box is packed with about 16 players and paddy thinks he can run through them all :56:

    if I didn't laugh I would cry

    I agree that Paddy didn't always choose the best option today, problem was, there weren't many options, there were no decent target men to pick out with a cross.
    For all the talk of Forrest starting, all he seems to do is run frantically down the wing, realises he has nothing on, so runs back again and passes the ball backwards.

    TBF on paddy, if i came on, did all the hard work like he did, i wouldnt dream of passing to one of my teammates as they were all appauling today. However he did make a lot of passes today and pumped a much needed urgency into the team.

    NO. He is pish, he lost the ball 90%. I don't know if he has the ability to run with the ball. If Maloney wasted as many chances to pass the ball today as McCourt did he would be getting death threats. Absolutely waste of space ad after seeing how rubbish he is today the only reason I can see as to why he is so overrated is because hes from Derry.

    Firstly did you watch the game? He made loads of passes, I only remember him losing the ball about twice, no more then any other player on the picture, he came on to do his thing and was unlucky not too.

    That last statement is pathetic, everyone loves Commons and hes English?

    Paddy McCourt is the type of player that Strachan was worried that Mcgeady would end up like. All the skill but not a the athlete that is required for the modern game. I like paddy and think he's fine in his current role but obviously hope he turns out to be the player that a lot of people think he is.

    Yes I did watch the game, intact I travelled 8 hours to watch the game only to see a * like him lose the ball. But it's alright he's pure Celtic till he dies that's why he goes ballistic when he scores and akbowlages the fans doesn't just run past us with a face like thunder while being cheered.

    I agree with a few other posters here that Kris has been poor so far i think he needs to sit out a few games just to give him a poke and give Paddy a shot on the left
    sure he aint no Usain Bolt in terms of fitness he's a throwback he shouldv'e been playing in the 80's centenery side but when he's on a run i tend to shuffle my * to the end of of my seat at CP and honestly theres very few other players on our books actually make me do that! he is the most naturally talented player we have only the expectation i think is too great on him!!

    * * youve got it in for him. Tbh he could have won us the game single handedly today and you would have no doubt still found reason to slate him. So its his fault that he came on and we were a goal down? When he got on the team was deflated and St Johnstone locked up tight, he did well in the time he was on.

    I certainly think he shouldve started today he looked more dangerous than the rest of the team put together when he came on.

    Agree, the flak Paddy gets at times is crazy. He did his best today and was extremely unlucky not to score.

    It was in todays Sun that Paddy wanted to leave. If that's true then I wouldn't let him near the first-team period. If the story is untrue then he should start on the right-wing IMO as Scott Brown doesn't create anything.

    It's clear from this ignorant comment that you know very little about Mc Court or Celtic, have you only recently started watching the games?
    Try and offer constructive criticism instead of talking *.
